Sex (with Darren), drugs (ok does feminax count?) and rock n roll (whenever and wherever possible). I am a total metal and rock nut. No, not geology although it is a very interesting subject, but music and the lifestyle too.
I am a total bookworm and love scifi and fantasy especially anything penned by Tolkien (bows down in worship). I enjoy good comedy and seem to spend a lot of time in London's Drill Hall watching the free recordings of various Radio4 comedy shows.
I am a bit of a foodie too, and enjoy tinkering around and seeing what happens when I chuck stuff together in the kitchen. It usually ends up all right.
In the last year I have really got into UFC and really admire fighters Chuck Liddell and Tim Silvya, but my absolute fave is Andrei "The Pitbull" Arlovski.
Also I adore Dita von Teese and worship at her stilettos. But only in a virtual sense rather than a stalker sense. The restraining order took care of that...
As many of my mates and heroes as possible. It would need to be a big room, but I'm sure we could all squeeze in...
And some of my fave rockers and metallers are shown here; And I would like to meet them for many varied reasons... As soon as the other half is safely down the pub...

Professor Tolkien for giving us Middle Earth- may the Valar bless him, Rosa Parks for not giving up, the drag queens of the Stonewall Riots for bringing gay equality to the forefront of the public eye, Lemmy for not dying and Robert Johnson for selling his soul at the crossroads and bringing back the blues.
